When the weather cools, the leaves fall and the days get shorter, the romance of winter and autumn is at its peak.
As you snuggle on a chilly night with your significant other and think to yourself, “I can’t wait to marry this person”. Your mind goes to the stunning engagement ring that’s hidden upstairs, and now all that’s left to do is pick the perfect Sydney location to pop the big question.
Over the years we’ve been involved in countless proposals, so we decided to collate the best (and most romantic) places to be the backdrop for your special moment.

Around an hour drive west of Sydney, the dramatic scenery of the Blue Mountain ranges is a year-round masterpiece, but in winter it’s a wonderland.
Explore the local villages, hike the mountains and valleys, and admire the waterfalls and scenery with your beau. Then when the time is right, ask those magic four words and get swept up in the beauty of the moment.

Experience it together or with your friends and family, so you can pop the champagne in celebration with your nearest and dearest.
